Off Topic The side hustle/side project/self-promo thread

[Geoffrey Taucer]

Got a side hustle that's relevant to the community? Do you do art/music/etc on commission? Or even just a hobby project you're proud of and want to show off? Post about it here!

Within this thread -- AND ONLY WITHIN THIS THREAD -- we will slightly relax our usual rules about advertising. You are welcome to link to your business website, and discuss what you have on offer with other members. (please keep this within reason; you can tell us about it, engage in discussions, post links or photos etc, but please don't post daily copypasted press releases just to drive traffic to your site). We may add or amend rules here if needed; in general our intention here is NOT to act as an unpaid advertising platform, but to allow active community members to share and discuss their side hustles.

And it doesn't need to be paid stuff; hobbies and such are fine to share as well! Wanna show us the new deck you built, the landscaping you've done over the last year, or a piece of cool artwork you made? You can share all that here, too!

I got into pretzel making last fall. I started with the basics and then experiments - pizza pretzels, pumpkin spice pretzels, spinach and artichoke stuffed pretzels, and bacon egg and cheese filled pretzel rolls. Even did some pretzel buns for burgers.

Just this past summer I started getting into home-brewing wine/beer -- generally using atypical ingredients rather than the usual grapes/grains/etc. I'm constantly tweaking my recipes, but my current favorite is a fermented blend of hibiscus, pineapple, ginger, orange, and hot pepper (jalapeño if I'm planning to share, fatalii if I'm expecting to drink it all myself, because I'm a masochist who enjoys unreasonable levels of spice).

I have a home recording studio, and I've got a few musical projects in the works; most of my currently-public stuff is on OC ReMix, but I also have some original stuff in the works as well. I can compose/produce custom floor music, though I don't currently have my website up (I suppose I should get on that now that my studio is up and running).
